Generation-Xers are coming back to homeownership after losing properties in the last decade's real estate crash.

The U.S. homeownership rate fell to the lowest in more than 50 years as rising prices put buying out of reach for many renters.

As the key U.S. spring sales season gets under way, robust real estate demand is being outweighed by a persistent lack of lower-priced supply.

Cities may be the top choice for millennials who rent apartments, but young homebuyers are moving in droves to the suburbs, where prices are lower and backyards are plentiful.

Increased demand for a scarce supply of starter homes is pushing prices beyond the grasp of millennials.
